If you’re a part of the population of those who didn't know (or really, who didn't care) who to cheer for this Euro Cup, the Anti-Sports League has got team apparel for you.

This ingenious T-shirt line designed by Glen Liberman and [Mash Creative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkers-and-fifa) is geared toward those who refuse to participate in Fantasy Football leagues, follow off-season hockey trades and generally do not understand sports culture in general. The cheeky team apparel lets an athletics-apathetic demographic proudly display their sentiments with clever shirts that bear slogans like ‘T he No Sh ows,’ ‘The Slackers’ and ‘The Downers.’ The back side of these brightly colored jerseys sport negative numbers, a clear opposition to the iconic ‘favorite’ or ‘lucky’ number.

Anti-Sports League apparel creates a twist on [conventional sports jerseys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-dumbar-dept), uniting a team of those who choose to support none of their own!
